Course objectives
Students of biology adopt the basic knowledge of statistic methods in course of Bi5040 Biostatistics. The main aim of this course is to demonstrate them practical usage of these methods. PC-based software Statistica 5.0 is used for this purpose. Students passing through the course, both the lectures and practice, should be able to evaluate experimental biological data. The course is suitable namely for the students working and preparing their Bc., MSc. or Ph.D. theses on experimental ground.
Syllabus
  • Data collecting. Organization of data within spreadsheets. PC-based statistical packages, Statistica software. Import of data from spreadsheet.

Assessment methods (in Czech)
Kurz je ukončen zkouškou, sestávající se z vypočtení tří zadaných příkladů, pokrývajících probíranou látku. V průběhu zkoušky jsou studentům k dispozici veškeré jejich poznámky i studijní literatura. Zkoušena není znalost vzorců či schopnost memorování, nýbrž pochopení podstaty jednotlivých statistických metod a jejich aplikace.
